STABILIZER <br />
Pressure Bio-Feedback<br />
A simple device that provides feedback<br />
to ensure quality and precision in<br />
exercise performance and testing.<br />
The STABILIZER is useful in an infinite number of exercises<br />
for all parts of the body. This instruction manual contains<br />
information on its use for exercises aimed at enhancing<br />
the stability of the lumbo-pelvic and cervical region.<br />
Considerable research has been completed on the specific<br />
stabilization exercises related to these areas.<br />
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS<br />
• The three-chamber pressure cell of the STABILIZER<br />
is placed between the part of the body requiring<br />
monitoring and a firm surface (e.g., floor, back of chair,<br />
plinth, bed, wall).<br />
• Tighten the screw (gently) at the base of the pressure<br />
gauge. Pump to inflate the three chambers of pressure cell<br />
until it molds between the body part and the supporting<br />
surface. A pressure of 40 mmHg (orange band) is suitable<br />
for the resting pressure of the inflated cell.<br />
• The initial baseline pressure may decrease initially<br />
as the air backflows into the tube. Reinflate before<br />
commencing exercise.<br />
• Changes in body weight on the cell on any of the three<br />
compartments will register a pressure change on the<br />
gauge.<br />
• Pressure on the cell can be increased, decreased or<br />
maintained depending on the exercise/movement<br />
required.<br />
• After exercise, air is released by loosening the screw.<br />
